Neighborhood Reporter Orientation January 10, 2009

Chi-Town Daily News is a three year old independent, non-profit, online newspaper covering Chicago. We work with dozens of volunteers to produce high-quality coverage of Chicago's many diverse neighborhoods.

Do you want to get involved in reporting the news on your neighborhood? Our neighborhood reporters, many of whom had never before written a news story, cover in detail the culture, news, and events that define their communities. If you've got a few hours a month, and a passion for getting the story, this is right up your alley.

The new orientation process is a four-session journalism boot camp that covers basic reporting skills, interviewing, news writing, and ethics.
The orientation will be held from 10AM-12PM on Saturday, January 10, 17, 24, and 31 at our office at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N Halsted, Room 204. Please email Frank Edwards (Frank(at)Chitowndailynews(dot)org) if you'd like to attend or have any questions.

Note: To participate in the program you must attend ALL of the sessions
